The best TV shows to binge over the Christmas break

Get the snacks ready, because a long weekend of TV binging awaits! And we've done all the hard work for you. Check out the shows you might have missed (or are dying to re-live), below!

(Mild spoilers ahead.)

SMILF (Stan)

Bridgette (Frankie Shaw) is an aspiring actress and single mum to a young son living in Boston, and her journey has been anything but easy. But with her best friend Eliza (Raven Goodwin) by her side, she's kinda, sorta, blindly finding her way through this thing called life. SMILF (that is, Single Mum I'd Like to F---) is based on the real-life experience of Shaw, who co-parents her nine-year-old son with her actor ex, Mark Webber, and his now-wife, Australian actress Teresa Palmer. Plus, Rosie O'Donnell makes a triumphant return to the small screen as Bridgette's eccentric mum, Tutu.

Yes, it's totally unnecessary that James Franco plays twin brothers in The Deuce, the sexy drama about prostitution in New York City's Times Square in the 1970s. But the eccentric actor definitely has heart as bartender Vincent, who reluctantly becomes the front for a XXX massage parlour, and his slick-talking brother Frankie. Still, it's prostitute Candy (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who steals the show as she fights for legitimacy in the burgeoning world of pornography.

Easy (Netflix)

Easy might be most underrated comedy out there. The anthology series follows the romantic lives of couples in their 20s and 30s in bustling Chicago with such sincerity, you'll swear you know these people IRL. First-time parenthood, dating app-disasters, infidelity, and the fight to keep a spark in a years-long relationship are all fair game. Season 2 recently dropped and sees the return of Jane Adams (Twin Peaks), Kiersey Clemons (Dope), and Dave Franco (The Disaster Artist).

Based off the book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit, Mindhunter the series has all the twists and turns to make you wanna stay up all night (which is the point of a binge, right?). Set in 1977, the criminal drama follows American FBI agents Holden Ford (Jonathan Groff) and Bill Tench (Holt McCallany), and psychologist Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) as they peel back the horrifying layers of the minds of imprisoned serial killers, aiming to put together the pieces so they can prevent the next wave of gruesome murders. Mindhunter also has a major Aussie connection: the show's creator, playwright and writer Joe Penhall, was raised in Adelaide and has said Agent Ford's first name is a nod to Holden, the Australian automotive company, and Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of the American literature classic The Catcher in the Rye. The character's last name references Holden's long rivalry with American auto manufacturer Ford Motor Company.

Big Mouth (Netflix)

After you're sufficiently freaked out by Mindhunter (sorry), decompress with a little comedy. Big Mouth, a new animated series, is based on the hilariously awkward teenage years of comedian Nick Kroll and co-creator Andrew Goldberg and set in the suburbs outside New York City. Kroll voices himself, with an A-list comedy roster including John Mulaney (Saturday Night Live), Fred Armisen (Portlandia, Saturday Night Live), Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live), and Jordan Peele (Get Out, Key & Peele) rounding out the cast.

White Famous (Stan)

Floyd Mooney wants to make it in Hollywood, but on his own terms. Played by Saturday Night Live alum Jay Pharoah, and based loosely off the experience of Oscar-winning actor Jamie Foxx (Ray, Baby Driver), White Famous is a confrontational look at the sacrifices Floyd makes for stardom, all while trying to be a good dad to his young son and winning back the affections of his son's mum, Sadie (Australian actress Cleopatra Coleman).

Before she was engaged to Prince Harry, Meghan Markle spent seven seasons on the legal drama Suits. On the hit show, Markle plays Rachel Zane, an associate at legal firm Pearson Specter Litt. On the show, she's also engaged to lawyer Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who just so happens to be practicing law illegally (dun, dun, dun!)

Big Little Lies (Foxtel)

This is definitely one to re-watch during the long break. We're a lot obsessed about Big Little Lies, hands-down the sexiest who-dun-it on TV. So we are ecstatic the show has officially been confirmed for Season 2. Domestic violence survivor Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman) and Queen Bee Madeline Martha Mackenzie (Reese Witherspoon) are officially coming back, too. And while no plot details have been revealed, we're going to assume there's more story to be told after Celeste's husband Perry (Alexander Skarsgård) is brutally murdered.

Game of Thrones (Foxtel)

We know it's gonna be hard to pass the time until Season 8 of Game of Thrones -- the final season -- premieres in 2019. And if you've somehow missed the fire-fueled boat on GoT, you've got plenty of time to catch up on all the drama. From Jamie Lannister's twisted plot for domination to Jon Snow's gross-but-weirdly-satisfying meeting with Daenerys, the (bloody) hits just keep on coming.
